Modegeschiedenis
Established in 1840 by Leon Skrzetuski in Poznań, the company was later developed by the Kruk family. It holds the distinction of being the oldest jewelry brand in Poland. Throughout its history, W.Kruk transitioned from a small goldsmith workshop to a large-scale retail operation. Its cultural significance lies in its preservation of traditional Polish jewelry-making techniques while introducing international watchmaking brands to the domestic market during the late twentieth-century economic transition.
